Fan Xiao activated the Dustless Shield, causing his body to fly up and break free from Fan Qiqi's embrace.
He then landed on the ground and lifted the ashes back up.
Then it flew off into the distance.
Fan Qiqi teleported onto his back and lay down.
The little girl reached out and touched Fan Xiao's hair, asking, "Fan Xiao, are you in a bad mood?"
“A little,” Van Shaw replied, “this section doesn’t really get anyone excited.”
"How about we play a game?"
"what game?"
"Let's have a monster-tearing contest and see who can tear it apart the fastest, okay?"
"not good."
"Humph."
"Sweetie, this time I'll take you flying."
Fan Xiao's lips curled up slightly.
……
Upon arriving at the beach, Fan Xiao brought up the player panel and glanced at the time.
2:13 AM.
Using his "bloodline" powers, he collected the blood from the nylon bag, re-condensed it into a blood blade, and hung it on his waist. Then, standing on the reef, he opened the bag and scattered the ashes little by little into the sea, following the wind.
In a daze, Fan Xiao seemed to see many small figures appearing on the reef, bowing their heads to him and whispering thank you.
What a polite group of children.
Fan Xiao chuckled at his own fantasy.
Does the human soul exist?
Fan Xiao hopes it exists.
It is also hoped that the souls of these children can be carried back to their homeland by the sea, returning to their roots.
……
Fan Xiao did not leave the beach immediately.
As someone who frequently experiences danger, his sense of unease is stronger than that of others.
So he doesn't plan to move until Fan Qiqi's cooldown period is over.
After all, this isn't a level-limited instance, but a world zone.
It's not impossible to run into a high-level player while going out for a meal.
Fortunately, Fan Qiqi's cooldown time has been reduced, so we don't have to wait too long.
Time passed slowly.
The sun rises above the sea.
The golden light slowly chased away the night, illuminating the seamless blend of sea and sky.
Six hours later, Fan Xiao took the wooden stick out of the storage space and tossed it into the air.
"I would like to visit Li Wendong and his daughter."
He murmured something.
The stick landed on the rocks, bounced a few times, and then pointed southeast.
Fan Xiao maneuvered the "Dustless Shield" into the air and flew towards the southeast.
The coastline receded further and further away from him, gradually becoming a microcosm.
……
Partition 004.
Glorious City.
This is one of the three safe zones created by the player organization "Radiant Society" on the Eastern Continent.
It was also the first safe zone to be created, and it was directly named after the organization "Radiance".
At this moment, in a study in the central area of the main city, the leader of the Radiant Society is receiving a report from his subordinates.
"Guild leader, we've investigated and found out that Island God was easily defeated by a player."
A middle-aged man with a slightly flippant tone spoke to a young woman who was bent over her desk reviewing various reports and documents.
The young woman is the president of the Shining Society.
She has long, black hair that reaches her waist, a quiet and sweet appearance, deep eyes, a beautiful figure, and an intellectual charm.
The guild leader raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man, and frowned, saying, "Before becoming the dungeon boss, the Island God was at least a B-rank player. Although it evolved into a monster and its brain became less sharp, its basic strength is still there. Do we have any players here who can kill it instantly?"
"It's not from our 004 district, it's just a player passing by." The middle-aged man smiled: "Guild leader, why don't you guess who it is? The answer is quite unexpected."
After saying that, he glanced at the documents on his desk and couldn't help but remind him, "Managing the people in the safe zone is not our responsibility. Chairman, you should save your breath. What we should be providing is military and resource support. Don't try to do both and end up doing neither well."
"It doesn't take much time to watch it once."
After giving a casual, perfunctory reply, the guild leader said, "The player you mentioned who was passing by, is it the one who destroyed the kingdom?"
"...You really can't hide anything from me." The middle-aged man sighed.
"The bounty for the destruction of a nation has been broadcast on the G08 node for a long time." The guild leader shook his head: "It's just a matter of guessing with a bit of luck. By the way, why would a nation be destroyed on the sacrificial island? Our 004 division is not exactly a tourist destination."
"The destruction of a nation must have been due to being caught up in it. The Sacrifice Island has the characteristic of random dungeons, so it's not impossible for a nation to be dragged into it due to bad luck."
The middle-aged man said, "Of course, I admit that the leap in this is a bit too far-fetched."
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."
The president speculated, "The Living Tribunal is an organization on the side of order. They probably heard about the Sacrifice Island somewhere, went there to investigate, discovered the truth, and then conveniently destroyed it."
"Is the Tribunal of Life truly an organization on the side of order?"
The middle-aged man warned, "There are quite a few players in there who specifically target people from game companies for assassinations. Basically, most of the organization's members are wanted criminals with high bounties on their heads."
"Putting aside the fact that it targets game companies, can you deny that the Living Tribunal is a player organization on the side of order?"
The chairman shook his head: "Perhaps they've learned some company secrets, but that's not our concern."
At this point, she sighed and said, "More and more people are gathering outside the city. The area outside the safe zone is constantly threatened by random dungeons. It's not a good idea for them to stay outside all the time. We need to hurry up and get another batch of 'fantasy materials' from District 001 to build a new safe zone."
"That's not easy!"
The middle-aged man immediately complained, "Now that the world partitions of the G08 node are gradually increasing, 'fantasy matter' is in high demand, and its price has been driven up. Now, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, let alone us who don't have any money."
"Let's tell everyone to put in a little more effort and try to raise more money."
The guild leader said, "As the population increases, the number of players will also rise, and the resources that can be obtained from the game will increase."
"If only we could unify this partition like partition 001."
The middle-aged man said, "At that time, you will have the authority to fully integrate into the ninth dimension and become a part of it. Once you start doing business, you won't have to worry about money anymore."
"Let's deal with the immediate issues first."
The president replied, "As for unifying the districts... don't worry, we'll take down those scumbags who are holding us back sooner or later!"
……
Guangyao City, sub-district, Xiwang Street.
"Dad, I have money again."
Xiao Yi pushed open the door and ran into the house, where she found Li Wendong, who was cooking in the kitchen after a long day. She excitedly handed him a few banknotes.
“No need to give it to me,” Li Wendong said with a gentle smile. “This is what you earned working at the flower shop. You can decide how to spend it.”
"But I don't need to spend money anywhere."
Xiao Yi was a little conflicted.
"How about using it to treat your close classmates to a meal?" Li Wendong suggested. "You've just started school, so you need to build good relationships with your classmates. Don't get isolated."
"No, I feel that everyone is very kind."
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll send the money outside the city to our former neighbors. They must really need the money."
"Hmm...okay." Li Wendong nodded. "But don't go out of the city alone. We'll go after we finish eating."
"Ok."
Xiao Yi smiled sweetly.
Seeing his daughter's smile, Li Wendong's expression became even more loving.
After escaping from that awful place, Xiao Yi became much more cheerful.
Li Wendong had the illusion that everything had returned to the way it was before.
The meal was ready in no time.
Xiao Yi sat down in the dining chair, and before picking up her chopsticks, she sincerely said, "Thank you, Mr. Fan Er."
Then she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat her dinner.
“Fan Er…” Li Wendong murmured, “Sigh, the players are all too cautious. We still don’t know his real name…”
"It's alright, Dad. The thought is what counts. The name doesn't matter. I'm sure Brother Fan Er won't mind."
Xiao Yi comforted Li Wendong.
"Who said I don't mind?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the doorway.
The father and daughter paused in their eating and turned to look at the door.
The door, which had been closed, was opened at some point, and Fan Xiao was standing there, waving at the two of them.
Would you mind having an extra pair of chopsticks?
He smiled and said, "By the way, my name is actually Fan Xiao."
……
"It's a wonder you came to us."
After the meal, Li Wendong made tea for Fan Xiao and said, "This room was allocated to us later. Mr. Du Ruo left before that. How did you find us?"
“With just a wooden stick,” Fan Xiao said mysteriously, “I am forever blessed by Lady Luck.”
"..."
Seeing that Fan Xiao was unwilling to talk about it, Li Wendong gave up.
At this moment, Xiao Yi came over with a plate of sliced apples and placed it in front of Fan Xiao.
"Please use it, Brother Fan Xiao. I peeled it for you myself."
Xiao Yi said, as if to take credit.
Fan Xiao patted her head and replied, "Thank you, I'll finish it all."
After the little girl left, he looked at Li Wendong and asked, "Speaking of which, what is Xiaoyi's full name?"
This question silenced Li Wendong.
After a few seconds, he said, "Li Xingyi."
"Li Xingyi...a very beautiful name."
"Yes, it's beautiful."
It's beautiful in a way that's almost ironic.
Li Wendong's expression was complicated.
Fan Xiao asked, "So, you came from Star Memory City?"
"You know Xingyi City? You haven't been there, have you?" Li Wendong asked.
